Description

For :iconherdsoftheglade:


Name: Poinsettia (will answer to Settia. Her parents call her Pon-Pon.)
Age: 3 years (young adult; born November 26)
Gender: Female
Species: Cervidae
Breed: Barren Ground Caribou
Height: 40" as an young adult||47" as an adult
Weight: 180 lbs as an young adult||330 lbs as an adult

Herd: Ur
Position: Grazer
Job: Gatherer

Personality: ||Friendly||Playful||Unruly||Curious||Restless||

Those within the Ur herd know of Poinsettia's sociable nature; the young caribou is always good-natured to those she meets. She is usually seen with a smile firmly on her face; quick to ask others how they are and if they would like to share a meal of flowers with her. If you ever want to see this girl at her best, just invite her to a game. Any type of festive or social gathering is what makes this dynamic girl happy. She loves to be around the members of her herd even if it's just one or two of her fellow Gatherers.

Though she is normally friendly, the quickest way to ruffle her fur is to try and force her to do something she doesn't want to do. She isn't prone to rule breaking but if it's an order from an overbearing authority figure, she won't hesitate to let them how she feels. Though she still has the natural curiosity of those in her age group, the stories her parents told her as a calf cause it to bloom further. She has developed an overwhelming eagerness to know more about the glade and those that.

Unfortunately, Poinsettia has a restlessness in her hooves. Tying in with her curiosity, the youthful energy that flows through her causes her to be eager for change. One to push boundaries, she isn't satisfied unless she is moving.

History:
Like those in her family born before her, Poinsettia was named for the first flower her mother saw after she was born. In her family the gender of the calf relate to the name they are gifted; female calves are named after flowers while male calves are named after trees. Her mother, Zinnia and her father, Sycamore, made up her small but happy family. Her father would tell her stories about the great migrating caribou herds that traveled beyond the Searbh mountains and of the Gods that the other herds worshipped.

As she grew from calf to a budding young adult, her mother saw the restlessness in her daughter's eyes and felt worry. Though she wasn't one to delude those around her of their hopes, she was more practical in her stories. She told Poinsettia about the legend of the Great White Elk, hoping to keep her somewhat safe within the glade.

Poinsettia devoured the story of the giant elk and the legends behind it. Though she is still curious about the caribou herd, she is even more curious about meeting the last legendary giant elk.
